Former Amazon employee here - Twitch is IMO a perfect example of Amazon tactics. Acquire, ignore, drain the engineering team down to a skeleton crew, further en- 💩 -ify the platform, and then wonder why profits are dwindling.

What a weird rollercoaster.

Three months ago at TwitchCon he was all smiles.

Wow who knew that capitulating to neo-nazis wasn't profitable.

Nope. It's because Twitch allowed nudity. This was the final straw for most

Would have blown right over if they didn't foster an audience of neofascists.

Nope. You're comparing two different issues.

If you're incapable of seeing the bigger picture then there's nothing I can or should say.

Bruh. Tf does a fascist audience have to do with Twitch falling off? What I was saying was that the debacle surrounding nudity was the last straw for most.
